Your personal background.
Is it just me or does everybody have trouble with profiles?

Well I live in the UK an a sleepy town called Gosport, which is near Portsmouth. I'm in my 30's, and work for an insurance company, its a dull job but allows me to read - which is a passion of mine.

Currently I've been read Hawkins book 'universe in a nutshell' and this has re-kindled my interest in physics - so here I am...

Other hobbies, I'm tring to learn the guitar, I'm never going to get into a band though :) reading (I said before) from trashy novels to everything really, I do a little drawing and painting, and enjoy going to the pub with friends - playing pool and showing ourselves up on the karaoke :)

Well thats all that folks, a quick snap shot of who I am...

Your opinions about Einstein@Home
Why run E@H? - well why not! I've got my PC sat here and if the extra processing helps :)

I suppost that I'm also hoping that through the information thats gained, a better understanding of how and why things are like they are. After all we are only just begin to grasp a basic understanding. :) - who knows whats to come from a deeper understanding.

Personnal I would like to see what is done with the information - a little like SETT does by showing which part of the sky. Although I must admit just pointing and saying 'thats your bit' is a little dull.
Maybe as the projects are started to be processed, maybe a link to a website so we can read what we a helping ... ?
